Newburgh snow emergency will be lifted Saturday evening

CITY OF NEWBURGH — The city will lift its snow emergency, in effect for more than a week, at 6 p.m. Saturday, interim City Manager James Slaughter said Friday.

The emergency, which required drivers to observe alternate-side-parking rules on most streets, and prohibited all parking on streets designated as snow emergency routes, was put into effect before the storm that hit the region on Thursday of last week.
